If I change the domain name to 'myserver', I get the following error:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://myserver/var/www/emoncms/time/local.json?apikey=******************): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found in /var/www/emoncms/Modules/raspberrypi/raspberrypi_controller.php on line 52

I do not have a emoncms/time directory, although there is an emoncms/Modules/time directory. I tried copying this into emoncms/ to see what would happen, and got the same error.

Any suggestions please?

Hi.

When I installed emoncms on my own server, I first use a subdomain as you did and it did not work at all.

I think it is designed to work this way : http(s)://domain.tld/whateverpath_emoncms/ otherwise the apache rules fail.

I didn't look any further into this and I changed from subdomain to domain.tld/path.

Perhaps someone else can confirm but AFAIK, subdomain is not the way to go with current design. Perhaps can you file a bug in the tracker if you think it would be useful.

Now, regarding the settings, here is how it works. (Eg. : http(s)://domain.tld/whateverpath_emoncms/)

Remote protocol (on recent versions) is http:// or https://

Server is domain.tld

Path is "URL path", not local path : /whateverpath_emoncms

On my setup, remote path is simply "/emoncms" (the leading slash should be added automatically if forgotten).

Hi Jerome. Thanks for that. I seem to have made some progress following your guidelines. I now have "Authentication successful" in the raspi settings, and no error message. But still no feeds on the remote server ..

You mean no input ?

Feeds needs to be created independently on remote server as well.

Yes sorry no input.

Hmm, I've just registered an account with emoncms.org, and am having the same problem there. According to the emoncms on my raspberry pi, I have an "authentication successful" connection to emoncms.org, but when I log in, and click on 'inputs', there are non there.

Either I'm missing a (probably obvious) step here, or there's something wrong with my setup.

From the terminal, on my own server, I can see that there is no data entering the database. Is there some way that I can test to see what data the raspi is sending of, and where it is sending it to?

Do you see inputs on the local server ?

Does it say "RFM12 to PI interface script is up and running" in the RaspberryPi module of local emonCMS ?

No -> You need to enable the gateway script. See doc about rasberry_run.php and crontab.

Yes -> Stop raspberry_run.php, remove (comment) crontab line and launch manually (php raspbery_run.php) to see what happens. If needed, add print statements in the php code.
 

Hi. Have just got it working on emoncms following complete reinstall.

Am taking heed of comments by Peter N at the end of this thread: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/1299

Will try a fresh reinstall in the morning, pointing at myserver, and see how it goes.

Cheers ..

Or stop raspberry_run.php, remove (comment) crontab line and launch manually (php raspbery_run.php) to see what happens. If needed, add print statements in the php code to see the URLs that are generated.

I woke up this morning and its working on my own server (hurrah!). It seems that it takes a while to change over (as indicated by Peter N at the end of this thread http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/1299). Maybe that's what was wrong with it all along, and I just wasn't patient enough .. or maybe it did need a fresh install?? Anyway its working now. Thanks for your help.

All I've got to do now is work out how to configure Apache so it runs as http://myserver.tld/emoncms where myserver.tld points to a drupal installation. I think I'll leave that one till another day tho ..

folks

can I piggy back on this one, probably a numpty question I'm afraid ..

I've got emontx & emonglcd working fine, I have emoncms setup at http://localhost the database name is emoncms-master

I have uploaded the multinode firmware to nanodeRF and it appears to be recieving data from emonTx & glcd OK but the red led is on. I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong with IP addresses or emoncms subdirectoty locations ?
